Chapter 6 Let It Burn

On the other end of the call, Rex Chapman was ranting, “You’ve given so much for them—granting Nelson Group the patent, donating custom medication to your brother’s hospital, and offering Milo’s Company a chance with their lead role. You’ve made so many sacrifices, but all those ungrateful people seem to care about is Leah. It’s driving me mad!”

Charmaine chuckled at this and teased, “You’re upset? How about a reward? You have my permission to reclaim the patent.”

“The Nelsons are still pushing for a lower price, and we haven’t signed the patent agreement yet,” Rex continued. “They’re also casting the female lead for the drama. Wait, take it back.”

When those words finally clicked, Rex howled, “I’ll stop everything now!”

Charmaine instructed, “And everything else we’ve given to the Nelsons—reclaim it all.”

“Great! That’s perfect. Boss, are you coming back? I’ll announce your identity to everyone tomorrow, so the Nelsons will regret this and cry their hearts out.”

“No, I have things to do.”

“What things?”

A mysterious glint appeared in Charmaine’s eyes as she replied, “For instance, ruin the pride of the Nelsons entirely.”

“What?”

“Enough talk for now. I’m going back to pack and head to the hotel.”
